"The author of the #1 New York Times bestseller and global phenomenon The Girl on the Train returns with Into the Water, her addictive new novel of psychological suspense. A single mother turns up dead at the bottom of the river that runs through town. Earlier in the summer, a vulnerable teenage girl met the same fate. They are not the first women lost to these dark waters, but their deaths disturb the river and its history, dredging up secrets long submerged. Left behind is a lonely fifteen-year-old girl. Parentless and friendless, she now finds herself in the care of her mother's sister, a fearful stranger who has been dragged back to the place she deliberately ran from--a place to which she vowed she'd never return. With the same propulsive writing and acute understanding of human instincts that captivated millions of readers around the world in her explosive debut thriller, The Girl on the Train, Paula Hawkins delivers an urgent, twisting, deeply satisfying read that hinges on the deceptiveness of emotion and memory, as well as the devastating ways that the past can reach a long arm into the present. Beware a calm surface--you never know what lies beneath"-- Provided by publisher.

Into the land of confusion submitted by hcf on June 24, 2017, 10:33pm I must say I was disapponted with this book. It felt very disjointed and too many characters had their own chapters which slowed the story down.

chatter submitted by Linda Rama on July 12, 2017, 7:19pm There were so many different characters coming from all different perspectives that keep you guessing and coming up with another idea of what happened.

Didn't grab me submitted by flashnsnooks on July 13, 2017, 9:18am I didn't find myself vested in any of the characters. I saw where it was going halfway through the book.

Thrilling...but Anticlimactic submitted by zixyxuan on July 31, 2017, 12:31pm First of all, I really liked this book, but I didn't enjoy it as much as The Girl on the Train. I really enjoyed the mystery aspect of the story and the creepy small-town setting, but there were SO MANY characters and different perspectives to keep track of. I think it was really fortunate that I happened to be reading this book for a readathon (so I had to finish it in one sitting) because I couldn't remember the difference between Sean and Patrick until I was 50% done. But I really enjoyed how all the different characters pieced together at the end, even if the dramatic build up was anticlimactic and ended in like 2 pages.

Regardless, I still really enjoyed reading this book. Honestly, I feel like I'm probably going to end up reading everything Paula Hawkins writes.

Overall rating: 3.25 stars

i think it was not very good submitted by JY 2005 on June 22, 2018, 5:39pm Characters were very boring.

Boring submitted by cindygeer on June 27, 2018, 2:05pm Like her first book, this one lacked suspense or adventure. It was predictable and very repetitive. I'm 100 pages in and am not sure if I'll finish it.

Into the Water submitted by SBNB on June 14, 2022, 11:49am I tried to read it, but it didn’t hold my attention. I gave up around a third of the way through.
